any attack on Hayti. England has reduced

The annual report of the minister of
marine, laid before the Canadian Parlia-
ment shows that the total number Of casu-
alties to British, Canadian and foreign sea-
going vessels in Canadian waters, and to
Canadian vessels in foreign seas, during
1886 was 3O7, representing 124, 445 tons
register, and the total losses to vessels and
cargoes 81, 657, 739, q much smaller number
of wrecks than has occurred in any year
since 1876
The wreck Of the channel steamer Victoria
near Dieppe is undoubtedly attributable to
the neglect of the light keeper to sound the
fog horn. The loss of life was much smaller
than was at-first reported, and what there
was, was altogether due to panic among
the passengers,

VOL. XIV.

THE BELLS OF EARTH,
The bells of earth go sounding on
From many an ancient steeple,
Telling their tales Of joy and woa
To all the waiting people:
In merry strains of festal mirth
They cheer our hours Of gladness,
Or wall their cry when midnight flames
Are raging in their madness
So on they ring, these bells Of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges,
To-day they murmur a nations loss
In heavy means Of sorrow,
But chant the tripping wedding march
In gladsome tones tomorrow;
To-day they sing of victory,
With banners gayly flying,
Tomorrow requiems for the slain
On all the winds are sighing.
So on they ring, these bells of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.
How gently on the morning air
The Sabbath bells are calling;
How softly at the hour Of prayer,
When evening dews are falling;
But when deaths sad procession moves
And bells are slowly tolling,
How mournfully upon the ear
These waves of sound come rolling.
SO on they ring, these bells Of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.
Their note is one; but human souls,
All thoughts and passions blending,
Can turn the music at their will,
To each emotion bending;
These songs from turret and from tower
Which DER the earth are ringing
Are echoes from the self-same song
Which every heart is singing.
So on they ring, these bells of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.

THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
Belief that Judge Mcrrick VIII Sue
coed Judge Cartier,

coed Judge Cartier,
The death of Chief Justice D. K Cartier of
the supreme court of the District of Colum-
bia leaves vacancy on that bench. The
reason why Judge Cartier held on to Office
instead of resigning on full pay, as his
friends advised, was that he was jealous
Republican, and he was not willing
to make vacancy which President
Cleveland would probably fill with
Democrat. The impression in legal
circles is that Judge Merrick will be pro-
NOTED to the position Of chief justice, and
that some other good lawyer and Democrat
will be appointed in his place Judge Mer-
rick was chief justice of the court before
it was reorganized by an act Of Congress
passed in Lincoln's time, and he has ever
since been regarded as having been legislated
out of Office to serve partisan purpose An
autopsy on the body of Chief Justice Cartier
showed that death was due to cancer Of the
stomach.

TRICKS or A COON.

One day Frank and l went down
in the pasture, just behind the old
house lot, and the coon came along,
too. In the pasture we decided to
take ride upon gentle horse that
was grazing there.
We got the horse by the name and
led him to a stump, and got on his
back. Frank mounted behind me.
Then the coon bounced up TO q
stump and wanted to ride, so I
reached down and took him in my
lap. No sooner had the horse start
ed off than the coon, fearful of fall
ing, stuck all his claws into the
horses withers, and the fun began.

left the coon master of the situa-

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 2l, 1887.
TALE or A THOUGHTFUL RAT.

On very warm day in early sum-
mer | happened to be standing near
a chicken-coop in back yard, when
| noticed the head of a very gray
and grizzled rat thrust from neigh
boring rat-hole, and concluded to
watch the movements of the vete-
ran. After careful survey of the
surroundings our old rodent seemed
to be satisfied that all was right and
made a cautious exit from the home
retreat. A fresh pan of water had
been recently placed before the
chicken-coop, and the water looked
a friendly invitation to the thirsty
old rat, which Immediately started
toward it.
The rat had not reached the pan
before five half-grown young ones
rushed ahead and tried 10 be the
first at the water. The old rat there
fore made a leap like kangaroo,
and was at the edge of the dish in
advance of the foremost of her litter.
Then ensued remarkable occur

self on her launches, and hit and
scratched her offspring so severely
whenever they attempted to reach
the water that they all finally scud-
ded away, evidently very much as
tonished and frightened at the
strange and unaccountable behavior
of their mother. When the little
ones were at a safe distance the
reasons for her extraordinary be-
havior began to be revealed at once
in the intelligent action of the old
mother rat.
She first wetted her whiskers in
the water looked suspiciously about
her, then very cautiously and care
fully took a dainty little sip of the
liquid. She tested it as tentatively
and critically as a professional tea
faster, and when she was satisfied
that it contained no poisonous or
other deleterious matter she gave a
couple of squeaks which quickly
brought her young and thirsty brood
to her side, and all fearlessly drank
their fill Now, this old mother rat
was experienced, and evidently
learned her lesson in that school
thoroughly, and so she would not
allow her young and untaught litter
to taste water which might have
contained rat poison or what not un-
til she had satisfied herself that the
liquid was harmless American
